Vinyl revenue overtakes CDs for the first time since 1986 | What Hi-Fi?

I'm sure streaming is responsible for the bottom dropping out of the CD market
i.e. as opposed to a surge in vinyl sales

Having said that our local album store has very good selections of pressings from new artists

I'm good with that :-)

That article is misleading. Vinyl sales surpassed that of CDs but when looking at units sold, vinyl sales were only 2/3 of CDs sales (22.9m to 31.6m). https://darko.audio/2021/03/us-music-fans-bought-more-cds-downloads-than-vinyl-in-2020/

All the best,
